Scientists watch nerves to see how heart device lowers blood pressure
NCT ID NCT05462405
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a special heart device (BackBeat CNT) affects nerve activity in 15 people with high blood pressure who already have the device implanted. Researchers measure nerve signals and blood pressure with and without the device turned on. The goal is to understand how the device works, not to test a new treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject is already implanted with a Moderato IPG that can be used to deliver CNT pacing signals, whether CNT pacing was activated or not. * Subject is willing and able to comply with the study and procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Subject is dependent on 100% ventricular pacing. * Subject has symptoms of heart failure, NYHA Class III or greater. * Subject has an ejection fraction of 25% or less * Subject's systolic blood pressure is less than 100 mm Hg on the day of recording. * Subject has decompensated heart failure * Subject has significant (\>3+) mitral regurgitation, aortic regurgitation, or aortic stenosis * Subject has permanent atrial fibrillation. * Subject has Atrial fibrillation on the day of the study. * Subject has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, or interventricular septal thickness ≥15 mm. * Subject is on dialysis * Subject has prior neurological events (stroke or TIA) within the past year or a neurological event (stroke) at any prior time that has resulted in residual neurologic deficit. * Subject has a history of autonomic dysfunction. * Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. * Subject cannot or is unwilling to provide informed consent
